Quark Matter 2025 is the XXXI International Conference on Ultra-relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions, which will be held in Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany. This conference brings together theoretical and experimental physicists from around the world to discuss new developments in high-energy heavy-ion physics. The focus of the discussions is on the fundamental understanding of strongly-interacting matter at extreme conditions, as formed in ultra-relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, as well as on emergent QCD phenomena in high-multiplicity proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions.
The scientific program will cover the following topics:
-
Chirality
-
Collective dynamics & small systems
-
Correlations & fluctuations
-
Detectors & future experiments
-
Electromagnetic probes
-
Heavy flavor & quarkonia
-
Initial state of hadronic and electron-ion collisions & nuclear structure
-
Jets
-
Light and strange flavor physics & nuclei
-
New theoretical developments
-
Physics of ultraperipheral collisions
-
QCD matter in astrophysics
-
QCD phase diagram & critical point
